Bees Creek Outside School Hours and Vacation Care offer a social approach and safe environment that shapes children’s social development and growth. We recognise the importance of providing fun, stimulating, and nurturing care for each child. Children develop interaction skills and are guided to identify their feelings and regulate their behaviour. Children are also guided to take responsibility for their own well-being and the feelings and consequences caused by their actions that affect themselves and others. Our program provides a balance of indoor and outdoor activities, as well as quiet times and active times so that children can learn, explore and grow in a safe and supportive environment. We believe that all children have the right to be treated with respect, kindness and fairness, so we provide an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and included.
Bees Creek Outside School Hours Care and Vacation Care provides a fun and engaging recreation based-program for school-aged children. As children move through different early childhood settings into school-aged care, great importance is placed on building relationships and exploring and extending interests and hobbies. The curriculum demonstrates that children learn in every context and situation and incorporates the transition from academic learning at school to a different type of learning.
We create a curriculum, culture and spaces that promote autonomy while offering various guided activities based on the importance of interpersonal and intra-personal development in middle childhood.
Children enjoy a fun and engaging program including sports, games, creative acts, dance, drama, cooking and the possibility of visitors to the service and excursions. All activities and experiences encourage children to try new experiences, build friendships, learn life skills, solve problems, practice social skills, and feel safe and relaxed. Children are supported by warm, experienced educators who work in partnership with families and encourage community involvement. Children participate in guided recreational activities, spend time outside, undertake physical activities and take the opportunity for rest and time out in a comfortable and unhurried atmosphere, and participation in all activities is voluntary.
The curriculum is based on the needs of all children, and in turn, we respond to their ideas when planning, constructing and documenting. The program is flexible and responsive to the group's needs, and all children are encouraged to participate in the planning and setting up of experiences.
We aim to create an environment that promotes autonomy while offering various structured activities based on the importance of interpersonal and intrapersonal development in middle childhood.
We acknowledge the Larrakia people as the traditional owners of the land on which we work, learn and play, and pay our respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders, and champion the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Through our commitment to reconciliation, we are active participants in fostering educators' and children’s understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, working towards healing the past and challenging biases.
